I wish us all well and good luck as we face the "Tall Weeds" of deception. The "Test" is for us. Will we be wheat or chaff ?Only the individual will know, what is in their own hearts. AND yes, it does matter.

Calling Bull **** In the Age of Big Data
Quotes from article
The world is awash in ****. Politicians are unconstrained by facts. Science is conducted by press release. So-called higher education often rewards **** over analytic thought. Startup culture has elevated **** to high art. Advertisers wink conspiratorially and invite us to join them in seeing through all the ****, then take advantage of our lowered guard to bombard us with second-order ****. The majority of administrative activity, whether in private business or the public sphere, often seems to be little more than a sophisticated exercise in the combinatorial reassembly of ****.
We're sick of it. It's time to do something, and as educators, one constructive thing we know how to do is to teach people. So, the aim of this course is to help students navigate the ****-rich modern environment by identifying ****, seeing through it, and combating it with effective analysis and argument.
What do we mean, exactly, by the term ****? As a first approximation, **** language intended to persuade by impressing and overwhelming a reader or listener, with a blatant disregard for truth and logical coherence.

It appears that the PTB or maybe it is just me ,do not want this site to be read. So we will approach it from a different way, if you have a problem......
Go Here you will see in the 2nd paragraph a highlighted Web Site "The BS Syllabus"
It’s from The Bull$hit Syllabus, which was created by University of Washington Professors Carl Bergstrom and Jevin West, who are trying to combat The Bull$hit. The syllabus includes questions and standards for data scientists to think about and use.

Someone's slamming down. That site isn't working either
There you go man, keep as cool as you can. Face piles and piles of trials with smiles. It riles them to believe that you perceive the web they weave. And keep on thinking free. (Moody Blues)

Would you believe it's only so weird as the forum's code is set to censor a 'bad word' wherever it finds one even within website addresses?Doka wrote: I have the 2 other websites on my tablet, just can't pass the sites to here any way. Really weird
